What is the difference between a private tour and a small-group tour?
A private tour runs for your party only: your own licensed guide, your own vehicle and a schedule you can change on the morning. A small-group departure shares the guide and vehicle with up to a dozen travellers on fixed dates, which lowers the price but fixes the pace and the stops.
Do prices drop for larger groups?
Yes, automatically: 3–4 travellers save 5%, 5–7 save 10% and 8 or more save 15% off the per-person day rate.
Are domestic flights included in the tour price?
Yes. Domestic flights between regions (for example Istanbul to Cappadocia, Cappadocia to Izmir) are inside the quoted price in every tier. Classic uses budget airlines; Comfort flies Turkish Airlines whenever a direct Turkish Airlines flight is scheduled on that day; Luxury flies business class. International flights to and from Türkiye are not included.
